Hello everyone, and all the best for a happy New Year to you all!
I'd like to solicit a few opinions about the use of cautionary
accidentals. Published scores that I own seem to vary wildly between
the extremes of putting in as many cautionary naturals as they can (up
to and including notating an F natural if the F was sharped two bars
before) and assuming that players will need no reminder that a bar
line cancels all previous accidentals.
With so many contradictory examples of How It's Done, I'm never sure
what to do myself when typesetting scores. My personal preference is
for keeping the cautionary naturals to an absolute minimum, but it
would be interesting to know what other people prefer. What do you
prefer to play from -- lots of cautionary signs, or the opposite? Or
-- unlikely from the examples I've looked at, but possible, I suppose
-- is there actually a hard-and-fast rule for putting the things in?
Thanks in advance for any input
Eva
